Adaptation

"Changes in morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and behavioral characteristics of the animal which promote welfare and favor survival in a specific environment." — Hafez

Hafez defined an adaptation as above. The adaptation helps an animal survive in their external environment. The representative adaptive traits are:

  1. Structural adaptation
  2. Behavioral adaptation
  3. Physiological adaptation

  • Structural adaptation is the changes in physical features (e.g. body shape, skin, and internal organs) of the animal.
  • Behavioral adaptation is the changes in behaviors (e.g. searching for food, mating, vocalizations, and mitigation) of the animal.
  • Physiological adaptation is the changes in the animal body functions such as growth, temperature regulation, and ionic balance.
  • Sometimes, adapted animal create a new species (speciation).
